Virtual Height/ Width

[Shawn]

That is very strange. I have no idea why it wouldn't be working on your end. Maybe PM Yves or someone and ask if they have any idea why it might not work for you but works for others.

Frame Width/Height specifies the size of the frame that is shown to the user.
Virtual Width/Height specifies the size of the frame that can be scrolled to. If set to -1, you have quasi-infinite space in that direction.

This is wrong, Set Frame Width/Height doesn't change the size of the frame that is shown to the user at all. It changes the dimensions of the frame, the ones you can see in the frame properties. If you want to change the size of the area that is shown to the user you have to use the "Frame Window / Set Width/Height" actions of Window Control object. These actions also contain a parameter that allow to resize the size of the frame at the same time.

Oh my.

I thought for scrolling purposes that SortaCore's statement was correct. Well, back to MMF pre-school for me, I guess.LOL.

OK, makes sense, but i have issues with changing Frame Height and Wdth.
...
Try this:

What happens if you reduce the frame Width/ Height to lowet than its original parameters? ( try FrameA in .mfa attachment )
- As i see it, although the Frame is reduced in size, i can still see all elements which were there when the App was at original size, in other words 'i can see whats outside of the Frame'!

If your Frames size is lower than your App size ( example: App 640x480 Frame 320x240 ) and you then increase your Frame size to fit the App size ( 640x480 ), what hapens? ( try FrameB in .mfa attachment )
- Youd think youll be able to see 640x480 pixels of the entire Frame ( since your App size is at 640x480 ), but no all you can see is 320x240 of the Frame although your App size should be 640x480

King Cool, you need to also resize the Frame Window. The Frame Size is used merely for things like movements and such, the Frame Window is used for viewing varying amounts of the frame. Also make sure to tick the Do Not Center Frame Area In Window option in the application properties, or you'll get unintended side effects.

[King_Cool]

I see.
So is there any way of altering the Frame Window size, without using the Window Controll object?

[LB]

No.

Shawn your example doesn't work for me as well.

[Shawn]

That's strange. I wonder what could be causing the difference?

[King_Cool]

Shawn, your example ( called "WindowResize Scrolling.mfa" ) is working for me, im guessing it worked all along.
I must have been confused by what SortaCore said and what Frame Width/ Height actually does, or i might have confused the arrow key controlls ( in your example ) with the WASD controls, or both.
